Founded by Penny Shawback in 1981 and now run in partnership with Damon Savoia and Julie Savoia, Shawback Design is an interior design firm that has been recognized for our deep commitment to our clients, to growing with our clients, and to expressing intricately-considered spaces that actively welcome our clients’ desires, hopes, families, dreams, and lives. We see our role as facilitators, producing spaces that invite and encourage the human experience in all its forms.

We are dedicated to every stage of the process: from sourcing land, to finding the perfect architectural partner, to dedicating ourselves equally to process and style, to offering a complete turn-key experience on completion (ask us about our "grand reveals"). We grow with our clients over time, often working on multiple homes in different states over many years (sometimes decades). We work on projects in the residential and hospitality worlds.

Our work has been featured in several books, DWELL, Modern Luxury Interiors, LUXE, Metropolis, and has been recognized by the LUXE Gold List. We have collaborated with award-winning architectural firms like Field Architecture, Walker Warner Architects, Signum Architecture, John Maniscalco, Surface Design, and more. Shawback Design is headquartered in Napa, California, and has an office in Sun Valley, Idaho.

“We believe that great design takes courage: to innovate, to consider the new, to propose ideas, to gracefully accept rejection, to push the limits of each other’s imagination.”
